===Part 6===

“Are you patting your ears again? You were doing that before.”

“Ugh, I still feel like I have water in there. Am I imagining it?”

The students were allowed to choose between a few different styles of school swimsuit, but the most popular at the moment was the racing swimsuit style. A high cut one. A swimsuit which fully, if tightly, covered the body was reassuring, but it also allowed no escape for the sweat when stuck out on the sunny poolside listening to your teacher talk on and on. Why didn’t this school have an indoor pool?

(And the full-body defense also makes it harder to adjust when it shifts out of place. …Like in the chest.)

“Dammit, Rie. I know you can’t swim, but do you have to grab onto me so tight when I go to rescue you? With your arms ''and'' your legs? Sigh, I really thought I was going to die…”

“Th-that’s your fault for approaching me from the front.”

Rainy normally had her hair all done up in the gyaru style, but even she went with something more subdued when they had pool class. She looked so different when she removed her swim cap and let her hair down.

That aside, New Sea City was about the only place that had an outdoor pool class in May. That was the tropical weather for you. Maybe it wasn’t a great place for Rie and her Osaka-style elegance.

At any rate, Rainy proclaimed her exhaustion and let her shoulders droop as she walked barefoot down the hallway. Walking must have made her swimsuit ride up because she adjusted the cloth in the rear with her index finger.

“Don’t you think they should add a pool locker room next to the pool? Chatty was saying the same thing! The main one is too far away! I took a shower, but now I have to walk through this sticky air!”

“But the school is air-conditioned.”

“This is filthy land air. What was even the point of wearing myself out in the water now?”

Apparently it wasn’t just the students who got noisy during the lunch break. As they walked through the school, they heard a voice coming from the faculty room. It was the familiar voice of their class’s homeroom teacher, Saitou Aiso.

“Ehh? You mean the night patrol is for more than just the shopping district? Wh-what do you mean a haunted location?”

“Oh, this has nothing to do with ghosts. We just have to check every area rumored to be a hangout for delinquents or a hookup spot for poor couples.”

“Then why do the rest of you get ordinary convenience stores and karaoke places? Th-that only leaves the super dangerous and haunted Rending Pool for me!”

“Okay, time for a break. After eating lunch, I need to focus on my afternoon classes.”

“Excuse meeee!!”



She was a timid woman, so this likely wasn’t the first time she had gotten the short end of the stick like this.

Rainy sighed in exasperation.

“The grownup world sounds rough. Man, I am not looking forward to that.”

“…”
